Special rescuers dive to seek the last victim of the sinking of tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch's luxury yacht off Sicily. The British-flagged Bayesian carrying 22 passengers and crew, was anchored off Porticello when it disappeared beneath the waves.
Divers are scouring the wreck of the 184ft vessel for any sign of Hannah LynchThe agonising search for Mike Lynch’s daughter continued last night as rescuers feared the missing teenager could still be trapped within the sunken Bayesian superyacht.
Luca Cari, a spokesman for the fire rescue service, told Sky News: ‘It’s very difficult to move inside the wreckage. Moving just one metre can take up to 24 hours.’ Pictured: Bayesian yacht that sank on Monday. The bodies of five of those missing were found on Wednesday, with four recovered, but the whereabouts of the missing sixth person remains unknown
It comes as Italian media reported that the victims were found on the opposite side of the yacht from their cabins, suggesting they may have been trying to escape the incoming water. Dr Lynch’s was the fifth body to be found in the lower deck of the ill-fated yacht, which lies on the seabed at a depth of 164ft, half a mile from the port in Porticello.
Industry group TechUK called him ‘a hugely significant and pioneering figure’ in the UK technology sector.
